Product Code : SCL-CELE-14004
This apparatus is a self-contained unit designed for the
visual observation and quantitative study of the three fundamental fluid flow
regimes: laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow. Its primary function
is to determine the critical Reynolds number values at which these flow
regimes change.
Key Components and Design
The system is optimized for creating smooth, controlled flow
and visualizing the fluid's behavior.
- Test
Section: A glass tube connected to a constant head
water tank.
- Inlet:
Features a bell mouth entrance to ensure smooth, low-disturbance
entry of water.
- Outlet: A valve
is provided to control and vary the flow rate through the tube.
- Flow
Visualization:
- A capillary
tube is introduced centrally in the bell mouth.
- This
tube feeds dye (from a small container via polythene tubing) into
the water stream, making the flow pattern visible.
- Constant
Head Tank: The tank is of sufficient capacity and is
designed to maintain a constant water level (head), which is
essential for stable, steady flow conditions.
Water Circulation and Measurement
The general specifications for fluid mechanics trainers
(inferred from your provided specifications) apply to the measurement aspects.
- Water
Circulation: Provided by an FHP Pump (Crompton make)
from a Sump Tank (Capacity 55 Liters approx.).
- Flow
Rate Measurement: Achieved using a Measuring Tank (Capacity
25 Liters approx.) and an Electronic Stop Watch to accurately
calculate the actual flow rate Qactual and subsequently the flow
velocity V.
- Control
Panel: Includes standard On/Off Switches and Mains Indicator.
Purpose and Experiments
The primary experiment is the visual determination of flow
regimes and the calculation of the Reynolds number.
- Flow
Observation: Visually observe the characteristics of:
- Laminar
Flow (dye stream remains straight).
- Transitional
Flow (dye stream begins to oscillate/wave).
- Turbulent
Flow (dye stream rapidly disperses).
- Critical
Reynolds Number: Calculate the critical Reynolds number
values that mark the boundaries between these regimes.
